High-quality submissions make genome data more valuable for the entire research community. To support data quality and usability, the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) has established minimum criteria for genome submission acceptance. Genome submissions to GenBank must meet the applicable INSDC minimum requirements to be processed, assigned accession numbers, and released publicly. These changes are part of NCBI’s broader effort to implement INSDC minimum specifications across sequence data resources and submission workflows.
Starting January 2027, the following new requirements will be validated at the time of submission in Submission Portal-Genome: Continue reading “New Minimum Requirements for Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Genome Submissions”

Are you interested in more functional information about protein-coding genes? We’ve expanded NCBI RefSeq’s Eukaryote Genome Annotation Pipeline (EGAP) to include Gene Ontology (GO) terms computed for most protein-coding genes. We are using the latest version of InterProScan, which now includes analysis based on PANTHER reference trees, on all NCBI RefSeq eukaryotic genomes. That means having comprehensive GO data with inferred biological process, molecular function, and cellular component terms matched with high-quality RefSeq annotations across hundreds of taxa to help drive your research. The data is available on individual records in NCBI’s Gene resource, NCBI Gene FTP, or in community standard .gaf formatted files with each RefSeq genome release on our FTP site.
